What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study explores whether 3D images and models made from routine prenatal scans can help families and surgeons better understand congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), a condition where a hole in the diaphragm lets abdominal organs move into the chest. Researchers will use scans that mothers already receive as part of standard care to create 3D animations and physical models of the baby and the defect. The goal is to help parents visualize the problem and to give surgeons a clearer picture of the hole's size and which organs are misplaced before they operate after birth.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
3D images and models created from routine prenatal scans
What this could lead to
If successful, this could improve how doctors plan surgery and how parents understand their baby's condition before birth.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study focused on feasibility and accuracy. The models may not perfectly match the actual anatomy, and the approach may not change outcomes.
